JOHNsoN,S ISLAND.
Few "Reminiscences Of the Confederate Officers
Prison.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During the
Winter Of 1864, from about the first week in
January, Shalers Brigade was detached from
the Army Of the Potomac and sent 10 assist IN
guarding the Confederate officers who were
prisoners Of war on Johnson's Island, near San
dusky. q. As soon as the ice in Sandusky Bay
broke up in the Spring the brigade returned to
the front.
While there many incidents occurred that
might interest old soldiers generally. The
brigade was composed of the Goth, 9th and
led N. Y. and 23d and SD Pa. The l22d was
employed in doing provost duty in Sandusky
city, while the other regiments were encamped
on Johnsons Island. The immediate guards
around the prison stockade was the Holman
battalion, especially recruited for that service
1t would seem from the vigilance and perfect
ness Of the prison that escapes were impossible,
but such was not the case. Tunneling was an
impossibility, ms the ditch inside the stockade
went down 90 the rock, while a line of guards
kept close watch all around the stockadc, on
top Of which were thickly posted sentinels.
On a slight elevation a battery of heavy guns
was trained on the prison grounds. Inside
were confined $500 Confederate officers very
superior body of men.
At times small details of prisoners under
guard would be taken out TO gather wood,
when occasionally one would escape, and make
for the ice across the bay. A skating patrol
would soon overtake the fleeing Johnny and
bring him back 10 captivity. 1t is said that
bulldogs were employed TO assist in these
captures.
But the "cutest" trick ever played was
when Confederate constructed a tin gun out
of oyster-cans and when the guards were re-
leved, having a blue overcoat on, he fell IN
with the relief and thus made good has escape.
The guards ever afterward were on the lookout
for tin guns and tin bayouets.
While the regiment lay at Sandusky, great
many were sick and taken to hospital across
from our quarters. Many died, and i always
wondered at the fatality, until since the war
was informed that the smallpox ragged very
badly. and the Surgeons were enabled TO keep
il secret by keeping it upstairs. On bitter cold
day several hundred of the shivcring Confed-
crates were taken from the prison and for
warded by rail TO the James River FOR exchange,
a number of whom cut holes through the
bottom of the cars or crawled through the win
dows in transit and escaped.
should like TO hear from some OF the
Hoffman battalion, as my yarns are only hear
say. j know, however, that the Conied-
crate prisoners were well fed and warmly clad,
and as humanely used as was possible and pre-
vent cscapes-Z Il. GRIFFIN, l22d n. Y, l6i

AT Cold HarbOr.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade J.
w. Kelly, Tylersville, Pa, is correct in his
statement as TO who succeeded 10 the command
of the Fourth Brigade, First Division, Second
Corps after the wounding Of Col. John X.
Brooke on the morning Of June 3 at Cold Har-
Dor Comrade c. T. Barr, Co Il, l45th Pa. has
evidently COMPOUNDED Col. o. ii. Morris, of the
Goth n Y, with Col. Lewis o. Morris, of the
9TH n. Y. III. A. IL was the latter who took
command OF the brigade soon after the wound
ing of Col Brooke and remained in command
until he was killed, on the 4th, when Col. James
A. Beaver, OF the l4Sth Pa, took command.
Col. .. II. Morris, Of the Goth n. Y, was killed
within few minutes of the time Col. Brooke
was wounded.
Col Lewis o. Morris was an officer of the
Regular Army, strict disciplinarian and every
inch a soldier; a commander who was loved
and respected by his men. for they well knew
he would not ask them 10 20 where he would
not lead. i think his soldierly qualities were
well demonstrated on the field at Cold Harbor
on that bloody morning when his regiment
took from 200 10 300 prisoners and three can
non, which were turned on the enemy by Col.
Morrs's direction. This all occurred at the
enemy's first line Of works at the sunken road,
from which they were driven TO their second
line-all this under the most CALLING musketry
and artillery fire. Strenuous efforts were made
20 hold our position, but no supports came up,
aud we were compelled TO fall back, but did
not retreat, as some portions OF the line did not
fall back more than rs yards aud others per-
haps double that distance, where they in
trenched themselves as best they could, throw
ing up the earth with their tin plates and cups.
The writer had good chance of viewing the
field, where he was left, after being wounded,
when the boys fell back, until an opportunity
presented itself for escape, which was not for
several hours after, as all who were there can
testify. With Comrade Barr / would like "a
hear from some Of the old Fourth Brigade, who
" got there every time.-W. A. CLARK, Co. c.

Some Questions Answered
About the Tortilita Mines.

The publishers Of The Post enjoy personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Joseph III. Reall, pres-
dent and active manager of the Tortilita Gold
and Silver Mining Company, and know him TO
be an able and honorable gentleman. We have
the fullest confidence in his integrity and
ability. either personally or as representing the
Tortllita company 10 perform faithfully what
ever contract he may seek TO make.
In regard TO the company's mining properties
there is no inside information 10 give. The
facts are all known. The Tortilita group of
mines contains vast deposit Of gold aud silver
ore. They have for some time been under
development in a small way; that is, with two
or three hand-windlasses and a fve-stamp mill.
The company is now contracting for the intro
duction of hosting machinery, and negotiating
for two or three twenty-stamp mills, which will
multiply the present producing capacity ten
times without largely increasing expenses. To
pay for these important and extensive improve
ments, they are selling a given quantity OF
stock-a sensible and wise proceeding.
This brief statement is made without the
knowledge of the company.-HGrtJord Conn
Post, Sept 10, 1857.
The shares in the Tortilita Gold and Silver
Mining Company are two dollars each, in any
sized lots, and are based on proven and devel.

Moving ON Richmond.

John Brooks, Co. ID, 10Th Wis, Elba, Wis,
controverts in a pleasant way the statement of
Comrade Card, who said the 18th n. III. was
the first to enter Richmond, and that the 10Th
Wis. was doing guard duty ii months at For
tress Monroe while the 18th N. III. was doing
service at the front. The writer says that the
10th Wis. never did single days guard duty
or any other kind at Fortress Monroe, but was
always in the front line of the Army of the Po-
tomac even if they did live on soft bread and
Jersey butter. He says the 10Th Wis. was the
first regiment to enter Richmond.
J.W.Winter, Commissary Sergeant, 10Th Me-,
Bath, Me-, does not understand why so many
comrades In writing of the entry into Peters
burg and the raising of the first Union flag in
that city, fix the date as April 3. The writer
says that his regiment entered Petersburg "a
hours earlier than that, about sunrise on the
morning of the I'd. On the morning of the Sd
they were q good distance away on the road to
Appomattox with the Second Corps. The writer
asks if Petersburg was not evacuated on the
morning of Sunday. April 2.

Give Them Their Due.

Z. A. Pendleton, 9th Ohio battery, Water
bury, Conn.,, advocates the following plan for
the payment of pensions: Taking the soldiers
age at the time of his discharge, let the Govern
ment pay him pension Of 50 month, begin
ming, say, "a years from the close of the war,
provided the man is not less than 80 years old;
at 90 years increase the pension to Sl1; at 60
years, Sl5; ut 90 years, SO; and at 40 years,
SO per month, officers and men alike.

Pension Committees bill, which has been voted
upon and almost unanimously approved by the
members of the Grand Army.
Nelson W. Eastman, Co. III, I'd Mo. Cav, Ma
tional Home Milwaukee, Wis, writes upon the
subject of pensions, urging in strong terms the
obligations of the Government 10 do justice to
those who sacrificed so much in its behalf.
j. Wilson, Laona, N. Y, thinks it very un-
just that many who enlisted early in 1865, and
hardly went 10 the front ut all. were paid more
in national and local bounties than the veterans
Of 1861 for three or four years of hard service.
He strongly fayors a pension bill based on
length of service.
VIM. Grist, Ridge, o., writes in very strong
language of the debt the Government owes to
the soldiers, widows and orphans. He says
they are continually being put off with prom
ises, but nothing is done for their relief. lie
thinks the remedy is in the ballot, and the
comrades should be careful how they use it.
